Australia stated that the current discussion on a convention was proceeding without a thorough examination of which of the rights of persons with disabilities were not protected under existing instruments and whether there were methods for closing those gaps that would not entail the negotiation of a new convention.
Australia declaró que el actual debate sobre la convención se estaba desarrollando sin examinar detenidamente qué derechos de los discapacitados no estaban amparados en los instrumentos vigentes y preguntó si existían métodos para colmar esas lagunas que no entrañaran la negociación de una nueva convención.
